Straight ahead is the little sun room that was added on to the Shabby Old House. It is bright and cheery although a humble frame. The main house is just before the left side of the railing. When they added the den to the house they covered the original window. The Roof slopes and although you can't see it in this picture they left about a foot of window sticking out above the sloping roof. So when you walked into the room from outside you saw 3/4 of a window. Nice realy nice. And get this, you could actually look through that window into the bedroom. Welcome to my bed and breakfast. Don't mind that window. We keep the shades pulled. lol These brilliant hobblers did the same thing again. They made a nice L shaped room but the window to the 2nd bedroom in the hall was open to the room as well.
Somehow I just don't think that would ever fly with our guests. lol
And you can see that we have been trying out paint samples. My hubby even got on the ladder and did a two tones green to see if we liked it. How can you go wrong with green? Or can you?!
The whole room was painted this color and very very dirty.
See that window and door. This would have been the original back door and that window is one that goes to the Master Bedroom. There is another window on the other side as well and it looked into the kitchen.. Can't you see in your mind how cute this back porch could have been. Throw in some steps a landing and some gingerbread trim and oh honey that would have been all I needed.
The roof leaked and so in fixing that we fixed the ceiling with drywall. I really struggled spending any money to renovate any portion of this room. But we couldn't leave those issues the way they were.
What a pretty thing I am. lol
So you are in the house from the back. You see we covered the window. Isn't the floor lovely too. It slopes just like the roof. lol
But the windows are cute. Except there are bee bee holes in them.We think that Old Mr Baker may have been shooting at the Bats...
And that is another story for another day.
I will show you where we are with the room tomorrow.
Sure hope you come back.
Hugs
